Command Usage
Due to system limitations in the current software, privilege commands
(page 4-79) entered during the current switch session will not be stored
properly in the running-config file (see show running-config on page 4-18).
The privilege rerun command must therefore be used to correctly update
these commands to the running-config file.
Example

show privilege

This command shows the privilege level for the current user, or the privilege level for
commands modified by the privilege command (see page 4-79).
Syntax
show privilege [command]
command - Displays the privilege level for all commands modified by the
privilege command.
Command Mode
Privileged Exec
Example
This example shows the privilege level for any command modified by the privilege
command.

Authentication Sequence

Three authentication methods can be specified to authenticate users logging into the
system for management access. The commands in this section can be used to
define the authentication method and sequence.
